At present, when there are so many news media platforms, the use of media consists in building personal, specific repertoire. These repertoires are a combination of many factors, including the available reception platforms, the geographical and social coverage of the media, the interests and needs of users.

Current lawmakers try to create norms and rules which would befit the constantly changing digital reality and they are still one step behind.

During the economization of culture and the culturisation of the economy, creativity in the advertising industry has become a myth. The subject of this dissertation is a “discoursive oversweetening” resulting from the desire to raise the prestige of the so-called creative sector. The dissertation confronts mythical stories with the opinions presented by employees of Polish advertising agencies in accordance with the paradigm of radical humanism.

The empirical part of the dissertation includes fourteen individual in-depth interviews with selected employees of the advertising industry. The collected research material allows to reveal problems, blockades and shortcomings in the aspect of behavior and pro-creative and pro-innovative attitudes. By immersing research in the perspective of Critical Management Studies, a holistic analysis of the phenomenon of creativity in the advertising industry will be carried out.
